Abstract:The elderly citizens, as the main body to enjoy social security and welfare programs, are more sensitive to public service efficiency, which thus can be measured by studying the elderly citizens' SWB. A 2012 survey of Chinese elderly citizens' living conditions shows that such variables as health, income, relationship with children, housing satisfaction, level of social security and time to the nearest medical institutions have significant influence on their SWB despite the difference in living region and age. It is then suggested that the elderly citizens' SWB should be enhanced by improving service and security capacities, enhancing material security functions and strengthening the publicizing of psychological security.
